The Office of Administration and Resources Management (OARM) is pleased to 
present the 2004 Nationwide Facilities Guide. The Guide is a complete listing of our 
buildings and facilities throughout the country and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. It 
provides a quick and easy method of accessing detailed facility information, including support 
data for each location. 

The Office of Administrative Services continually strives to improve the quality of 
EPA’s office and laboratory space. The majority of Headquarters’ office space is newly 
renovated; the remainder in three Crystal City buildings will be re-located to a new, 2- 
building office complex in Potomac Yards (adjacent to Crystal City) in 2006. Projects are now 
underway to re-locate two Regional offices. The Region 8 office will be moving into a new 
downtown office building in Denver in 2006, and the Region 1 office will move to a 
completely renovated courthouse building in Boston in 2008. 

Our commitment to providing a clean and healthy work environment for all our 
employees is exemplified in the new facilities with high standards for indoor air quality, 
natural light, and quality furniture systems. Some of our facilities also provide fitness and 
child care centers. 

In the past two years we leased new Regional laboratories in Chelmsford, 
Massachusetts (Region 1) and Kansas City, Kansas (Region 7). We continue the phased 
upgrading of the Regional laboratories in Chicago, Illinois (Region 5) and Manchester, 
Washington (Region 10) and are developing a plan to improve the laboratory facilities at 
Edison, New Jersey. This will complete the modernization efforts for all regional laboratories. 
Our new state-of-the-art facility at Research Triangle Park (RTP) in North Carolina opened 
in 2001. This facility provides approximately 1,150,000 gross square feet of office and lab 
space for almost 2,200 employees. 

We are pleased and proud of the Agency’s accomplishments in providing quality 
space for our employees and state-of-the-art facilities to support our mission.

The US Environmental Protection Agency's Facilities Guide has been prepared by the Facilities Management 
and Services Division (FMSD) of the Office of Administrative Services (OAS) to provide EPA employees and 
other users with current information on the facilities used by the Agency. 

In addition to providing a listing of EPA facilities, the Guide is intended to simplify the retrieval of information. 
Buildings can be identified by the following parameters: a) by location - city, state, or region,- b) by 
assignment to Headquarters, Region, or Program,- c) by primary use - office, laboratory, etc. 

The Guide contains basic information on each facility, including its size, current lease status, approximate 
number of personnel, and controlling authority i.e. GSA (the US General Services Administration) or EPA. 
Photographs and site maps are provided for major facilities, such as the headquarters, regional offices, and 
primary research laboratories. 

The 2005 Guide updates information on facilities, including real estate changes, published in Facilities Guide 
2001. Changes that are in the process of implementation have been mentioned in the narrative, but changes 
under consideration have not been included.

Overview of EPA Space Inventory 2005 


The Environmental Protection Agency occupies approximately ten million square feet of space in 191 facilities, 
staffed by about 25,000 personnel in fifty states and four territories. EPA facilities, constituting offices and 
laboratories, are accommodated in spaces that are categorized as: GSA-owned (58 facilities comprising about 
36% of EPA's total square footage), GSA-leased (95 facilities, 33% of square footage), EPA-owned (21 facilities, 
30% of square footage), or EPA-leased (or special use agreement) (17 facilities, 1% of total square footage). In 
2001, EPA occupied about 9.8 million square feet in 155 facilities. 

The principal facilities of the Agency are the Headquarters facilities located in Washington, DC metropolitan 
area, the ten regional offices, and the two major research centers situated in Research Triangle Park, North 
Carolina, and Cincinnati, Ohio. 

EPA facilities are distributed over ten regions across the United States, each of which has a regional 
headquarters office and several laboratories. The laboratories perform a broad range of scientific and 
technological undertakings ranging from technical services to research and development. The mission and 
roles of these facilities focus on environmental problems, and their impact on human health and the 
environment.

Laying a Green Foundation 


Green Buildings - EPA Leads by Example 



EPA has been in the forefront of sustainable design and construction and has been actively promoting 'Green 
Buildings' - structures that incorporate principles of energy and resource efficiency, waste reduction and 
pollution prevention, good indoor air quality and natural light, and transportation efficiency in design and 
construction, during use and reuse. 

EPA utilizes both innovative state-of-the-art technologies and holistic approaches to design, construction, 
renovation, and use of EPA owned and leased facilities. Some of the important considerations in the creation 
of a Green Building are: 

♦ site planning that utilizes naturally occurring resources and features on the site, such as solar and 
wind energy, natural shading, native flora, topography and drainage,- 

♦ location and programs to optimize use of existing infrastructure and transportation options, including 
the use of alternative work modes such as telecommuting and teleconferencing; 

0 use of recycled content and environmentally preferable construction materials and furnishings, 
consistent with EPA Procurement Guidelines,- 

♦ minimization of energy and materials wastage throughout the building's lifecycle,- 
0 design of the building envelope for energy efficiency,- 

♦ use of materials and design strategies to achieve optimal indoor environmental quality and to 
maximize health and productivity; 

♦ operation systems and practices that support an integrated waste management system,- 

♦ recycling of building materials obtained as a result of demolition,- 

♦ management of water as a limited resource in site design, building construction, and building 
operations; and 

♦ utilization of solar and other renewable technologies, where appropriate. 

Evaluation of trade-offs is an important component of the design of Green Buildings. Where the goals of a 
Green Building are contradictory (for example increased ventilation vs. increased energy efficiency), the trade¬ 
offs are evaluated in a holistic framework to achieve long-term benefits for the environment. Also, the 
physical considerations are balanced with other policy objectives such as environmental justice, particularly 
with regard to site location. EPA adopts a consistent approach to evaluate and consider sustainable designs 
for all its buildings. 

Examples of Green Building Practices and Sustainable Design are highlighted in the following pages.

Headquarters Facilities: Arlington, Virginia 



The leases for EPA's office space in the Crystal City section of Northern Virginia expire in 2005. For 
its new office space, EPA worked with GSA to develop a Solicitation for Offers (SFO) that addresses 
environmental standards. GSA received initial offers in August 2003 and awarded leases on May 6, 

2004. EPA is expected to occupy the new space in early 2006. The newly constructed facility must 
meet a minimum LEED™ Silver 2.1 rating. 

Energy Conservation 

The new facility must achieve the EPA ENERGY STAR® building label within 14 months of 
occupancy. To reduce energy use, the facility would utilize an energy-efficient building shell 
design, smart-glazed windows, efficient mechanical systems that minimize and recapture waste 
energy, and energy-efficient lighting and appliances. EPA also plans to reduce energy consumption 
through the use of renewable or innovative energy technologies. 

Water Management 

The facility must conserve water wherever possible, for example, through the use of harvested 
rainwater or drip irrigation systems, low-flow plumbing fixtures, or low-maintenance native 
landscaping that minimizes supplemental irrigation. EPA also plans to address stormwater runoff by 
minimizing the amount of non-permeable hardscape and using porous pavement. 

Resource Conservation 

Recycling and waste minimization must be 
Plan prior to construction and utilize 
recycled-content construction materials 
as required under the Resource 
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) 
section 6002. The facility should also 
incorporate EPA's revamped 
Headquarters recycling program and use 
environmentally preferable products that 
contain above average recycled content. 

Indoor Air Quality 

Attention will be paid to indoor air quality 
through the use of low-VOC interior 
adhesives, paints, sealants, caulks, and 
environmentally preferable janitorial and 
cleaning products. In addition, adequate 
ventilation and air filtration will be 
included as part of the central and 
distributed HVAC systems.

The New England Regional Laboratory 

Region 1, Chelmsford, Massachusetts 


LEED™ Gold certification 2003 
White House Closing the Circle Award 2002 

Total Facility area: 66,000 sq ft 

The New England Regional Laboratory 
became operational in October 2001. The 
facility was awarded LEED ni Gold 
Certification in 2003 for its commitment 
and adherence to sustainability. It also 
received the White House Closing the 
Circle Award in 2002, for its integrated 
sustainable design. 

The high-performance environmental features of the building include energy-efficient electrical and 
mechanical systems, 100% green power, water conservation, active solar power, natural lighting, 
and improved indoor air quality. The incorporation of these measures make the Chelmsford Lab 35% 
more energy efficient than a standard constant volume laboratory. 

The Chelmsford Lab conducts chemical and biological analysis, and monitors environmental 
samples of air, water, sediment and toxic waste. An efficient waste handling and disposal system 
was therefore imperative. A state-of-the-art acid neutralizing system was installed within the 
building, thereby preventing contaminants from entering regional wastewater plants. 

The conservation-specific features of the facility are: 



Energy efficiency 


0 The Chelmsford Lab works with local utility Massachusetts Electric's Design 2000plus to 
participate in its energy conservation program; 

♦ energy efficient mechanical and electrical systems in the building include daylight and 
occupancy sensors, water-cooled chillers, insulated windows, variable flow pumping 
systems, and variable air volume heating and cooling systems,- 

♦ use of photovoltaic awnings reduces heat and glare and also supplies a small amount of 
required electricity,- and 

♦ special skylights harness and diffuse natural light into the building, reducing the 
dependence on artificial light. 

The Chelmsford Lab's energy consumption is 15.3 percent less than EPA's other variable air volume 
laboratories.* 

*Weighted average energy use for EPA variable air volume laboratories is 360,957 Btus/GSF/year. This figure was calculated 
using data from EPA labs in Kansas City, Kansas; Fort Meade, Maryland; Athens, Georgia,- and Golden, Colorado.

The New England Regional Laboratory, continued 
Region 1, Chelmsford, Massachusetts 

Water efficiency 

The laboratory at Chelmsford was one of EPA's first laboratories to develop a water management 
plan. Water conservation elements incorporated into the building include: 

0 use of electronic sensors on plumbing fixtures in the restrooms results in twenty-two 
percent savings in water use 

♦ a rooftop rain recovery system collects water from roofs through drains to replenish on-site 
wetlands; 

0 on-site well provides non-potable water for irrigation; and 

♦ planting local flora that require little water and are well-suited to the local environment. 
Waste handling and recycling 

Wastewater generated in the laboratories is disposed of through a state-of-the-art acid neutralizing 
system within the building, while the sanitary wastewater is piped to the regional wastewater utility. 
During construction, the Chelmsford Lab was able to divert more than fifty percent of its materials 
from the landfill by committing to a major recycling effort, including construction and demolition 
debris, metals, cardboard, clean wood, plastics, glass, gypsum drywall, carpet, rigid foam insulation, 
and general refuse. In addition to construction recycling. The Chelmsford Lab features construction 
products and furnishings with extensive recycled material content including ceiling tiles and 
carpeting. 



Indoor Air Quality 


EPA is committed to safe and healthy indoor environments especially in laboratories: 

0 all material used in the building was examined for its impact on indoor air quality; 


♦ measures were taken to exclude materials that did not meet EPA-designated safety levels; 
and 

♦ ultra-low volatile organic compound products were used indoors. 

Other measures taken to improve the quality and safety of indoor air included cleaning of all duct 
work, replacing filters before occupancy, and utilizing environmentally preferable cleaning materials.

The National Computer Center, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 

Region 4 


Applied for LEED IU certification 
Total area: 70,000 sq ft 

The National Computer Center (NCC), 
an integral component of EPA's largest 
facility at the Research Triangle Park, is 
located in a separate building within 
the main campus. It houses EPA's 
central data processing and exchange 
operations. Completed in 2001, the 
building incorporates energy-efficient 
features and a reduced environmental 
footprint, demonstrating that high-tech 
buildings can be designed and 
constructed on green principles on a 
standard budget. EPA has applied for 
LEED™ certification for the facility. 

The outstanding feature of the Computer Center is its high energy-efficiency achieved essentially 
through the use of photovoltaic technology. 

Energy efficiency 

NCC uses 40% less energy than a standard computing facility. It is also self-sufficient in meeting its 
energy requirements. The reasons are: 

0 non-polluting photovoltaic roof tiles generate the Center's energy requirements. The solar 
technology provides the Center's lighting needs,- 

0 the 15,000 sq ft solar roof is one of the largest in eastern US; 

0 high efficiency 'Green' fluorescent lighting with daylight and motion sensors uses 70% less 
electricity than conventional lighting, and is used throughout the building,- 

° south-facing lobby lets in natural light; 

° all workstations are close to natural light; 

♦ heat absorbing floor tiles use sunlight to provide 'free' heating during winter,- 

* use of thermoplastic polyolefin membrane on roofs reduces heat gain and also the cooling 
costs,- 

0 windows are paned with Low-E glass that increases their thermal efficiency and hence 
reduces cooling costs during summer,- and 

0 use of outside air economizers reduces energy costs.

The National Computer Center, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, continued 

Region 4 


In October 2003, EPA finalized commitments to purchase more than 35 million kilowatt hours (kWh) 
worth of green power per year for its RTP-Main and NCC facilities. 

Water efficiency 

Water wastage is reduced through the use of water-efficient fixtures including flow restricting 
nozzles, automated shutoff, and automatic temperature control of water delivery system. The 
restrooms are equipped with sensor-operated faucets. 

Native flora and adapted species were planted, which eliminates the need for watering and 
sprinkler systems. 

Indoor Air Quality 

EPA maintained stringent controls to ensure safe and high air-quality levels by specifying safe levels 
for volatile organic compounds and other contaminants in the building materials used during and 
after construction. The Center's printer and copier rooms have separate exhausts to expel toner 
dust. 

The computer room is equipped with FM 200 Fire Protection System. This system has no adverse 
impacts on the environment. It is non ozone-depleting and does not harm the sensitive equipment 
in the computer room. 


Child Care Center, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 

Region 4 

Construction of EPA's new child care center at its Research Triangle Park, NC campus began in April 
2004. The 25,400 square foot facility will replace the current First Environments Early Learning Center 
(FEELC), and will allow FEELC to extend services to fifty-four additional children of federal employees. 
This facility will have space for 188 children, forty-one staff members, twenty classrooms, a large 
multipurpose room, a commercial-grade kitchen, infant care rooms, and an outdoor playground

Like the rest of EPA's RTP campus, the new FEELC will incorporate green building features such as 
effective daylighting and energy efficiency. By incorporating these and other sustainable design

Region 7 Laboratory, The Kansas City Science & Technology Center 


LEED Gold Certification 2003 

EPA's newest laboratory is the Region Seven Science and Technology Center (STC) in Kansas City, 
Kansas. The facility was dedicated on May 9, 2003. Built on a brownfields site, the building employs 
many energy, resource, and water-efficient characteristics in its design and construction to preserve 
natural resources, ensure occupant health, and serve as a model for future laboratory design. 

A dedicated team of individuals and agencies, including contractors, developers, engineers, 
architects, EPA staff, and the U.S. General Services Administration, pursued a sustainable approach 
in the development and construction of STC. In August 2003, the laboratory was awarded Gold 2.0 
Level certification from the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental 
Design (LEED"') program. 

The Solicitation for Offers (SFO) for this facility included green language to ensure that the facility 
and all its construction features promote energy efficiency and incorporate environmentally 
preferable materials and design. The initial mechanical system design chosen for the lab included 
variable air volume (VAV) fume hoods, VAV office ventilation, and heat recovery. Energy modeling 
performed on this initial design produced further economical energy conservation approaches 
resulting in design additions such as carbon dioxide sensors in conference rooms and other 
common areas (to reduce the amount of outside air needed during unoccupied periods), plate and 
frame heat exchange recovery, and a combination of a variable frequency drive and conventional 
chiller system. 

Based on electricity and natural gas consumption reported during the facility's first nine months of 
operation, the laboratory's energy consumption rate was approximately 275,000 British thermal units 
(BTUs) per gross square foot per year - twenty-four and a half percent less consumption than EPA's 
other variable air volume laboratories.* 

A unique rooftop rainwater recovery system captures and filters rainwater for use in flushing toilets; 
it cuts treated domestic water use by approximately fifty percent and reduces stormwater runoff by 
40 percent. Since the rainwater recovery system collects more water than needed for the toilets, the 
excess is used to provide make-up water for the building's cooling towers. The estimated saving 
from this unique system is 735,000 gallons water per year. The use of xeriscaping and the 
installation of low-flow faucets further reduce water use at the laboratory. 

Environmentally preferable products used to construct the building included recycled content 
flooring, carpet, ceiling tiles, and building materials. ENERGY STAR" reflective roofing was also 
installed to reduce the building's cooling load. STC also incorporates energy-efficient lamps, low- 
energy window glass, motion sensors for lighting, and daylighting features. The SFO also required 
contractors to recycle construction waste. 

‘Weighted average energy use for EPA variable air volume laboratories is 365,116 BTUs/GSF/ year. 

This figure was calculated using data from EPA labs in Chelmsford, Massachusetts,- Fort Meade, 
Maryland; Athens, Georgia,- and Golden, Colorado.

Green Solicitation 

Region 8 Headquarters, Denver, Colorado 


The lease for EPA's Region Eight Office space in Denver, Colorado, expires in 2006. By July 2006, the 
Agency plans to move into leased space in a new building to be located at the site of the former US 
Post Office Terminal Annex Building. The proposed space will be a sustainable, state-of-the-art 
facility reflecting EPA's environmental protection mission. To accomplish this goal, EPA worked with 
GSA to develop a solicitation for offers (SFO) including provisions that address energy efficiency, 
water and resource conservation, indoor air quality, and the use of renewable energy technologies. 


EPA and GSA are using a two-step design competition to deliver the best building to house Region 
Eight Headquarters. The first step of the competition involved the selection of five teams based on 
their experience in green building, energy performance, and office development. This step was 
completed in early 2004. In the next stage, the winning teams will compete on building design, 
sustainable attributes, and cost. The SFO developed by EPA and GSA includes stringent minimum 
provisions for sustainable performance—the facility will aim for a LEED IU Silver or higher 
certification—and the competition is structured to produce a building that exceeds this minimum 
requirement. 

Energy Conservation 

The facility must achieve an EPA ENERGY STAR 1 building label within fourteen months of occupation 
An energy-efficient building shell design, smart-glazed windows, efficient mechanical systems that 
minimize and recapture waste energy, and energy-efficient lighting and appliances could be used 
to reduce energy use. EPA also plans to incorporate renewable or innovative energy sources where 
economically feasible. 

Water Management 

The building must conserve water wherever possible, for example, through low-flow plumbing 
fixtures, harvested rainwater or drip irrigation systems, and other water-efficient mechanical 
designs. In addition, the site must address stormwater management through techniques such as 
the use of porous pavement and landscaping with native plant species that are adapted to local 
growing conditions. 

Resource Conservation 

Recycling and waste minimization must be a priority. During construction, recycling and waste 
minimization will be mandatory, and the final office space must accommodate EPA's active 
recycling program. The facility must also utilize environmentally preferable products with above 
average recycled-content wherever possible. 

Indoor Air Quality 

The site must maintain good indoor air quality through the use of low-VOC interior adhesives, 
paints, sealants, caulks, and environmentally preferable janitorial and cleaning products. There will 
be no use of lead, asbestos, or asbestos-containing materials. In addition, adequate ventilation and 
air filtration will be included as part of the central and distributed HVAC systems.

Green Purchasing and Pollution Prevention 



As the largest consumer of goods and services in the United States, federal agencies are required by 
Executive Order 13101 to buy products and services that reduce impacts on the environment. As part 
of its ongoing commitment to promoting environmentally preferable purchases and services, EPA 
announced Agency-wide "green purchasing" goals on Earth Day (April 22) 2003. The goals lay out an 
aggressive path for EPA to "green" the following purchases and activities; many have already been 
met or are well on their way. 

♦ Green Buildings: All of EPA's new facilities and new building construction acquisition projects 
should meet the US Green Building Council's LEED™ Silver standard, at a minimum, starting by 
2005. 

♦ Green Janitorial and Maintenance: By 2010, all significant EPA janitorial and maintenance 
contracts should include compliance with ASTM Cleaning Stewardship for Community 
Buildings Standard and use of cleaning products bearing the Green Seal. 

0 Green Copy Paper and Publications: All printing paper products must meet a minimum 

standard of 100 percent recycled, 50 percent post-consumer content, and be process chlorine- 
free wherever possible. 

♦ Green Meetings: All meetings planned or funded by EPA must be considered "green" no later 
than 2005, and EPA will train Agency meeting planners on opportunities to and for greening 
their procurements. 

♦ Green Office Supplies: To help employees buy "green" office supplies by 2005, a blanket 
purchase agreement with a vendor to provide exclusively recycled-content and other 
environmentally preferable office products was awarded in October 2003; use of this system 
will eventually become mandatory shopping for all EPA purchase cardholders across the 
country. 

0 Green Electronics: By 2005, the Agency's decisions on all electronic purchases, from 
computers to copy machines, will be determined also by environmental considerations, in 
addition to price and performance of the product. 

♦ Green Fleets: EPA is working to increase the acquisition and use of alternatively fueled 
vehicles. It is also substituting smaller-class vehicles for larger ones, buying more fuel-efficient 
models, and acquiring more advanced technology vehicles, such as hybrids and fuel cell 
powered vehicles. 

♦ Green Landscaping: All new major landscaping projects should be water conserving; use 
native plant species; conduct integrated pest management; consider stormwater 
management and low-impact development techniques; minimize the use of herbicides, 
fungicides, and fertilizers,- and maximize the use of recycled-content landscaping materials. 

♦ Green Power: EPA plans to continue to add at least one new facility per year to the list of EPA 
facilities served by green power through 2010. 

♦ Recycling and Waste Prevention: The Agency's goal is to increase and promote recycling and 

reduce materials entering EPA's waste stream. a rmi

Green Power 


EPA works to promote the development of clean energy, wherever possible, through the purchase 
of "green power," or energy from renewable sources with low environmental impacts such as wind 
and landfill gas. As of March 31, 2004, thirteen Agency facilities were under contract to receive a 
total of 122 million kilowatt hours (kWh) per year of renewable energy. Procurement is underway for 
an additional 26 million kWh per year. Nearly all of these facilities procure green power equivalent to 
100 percent of their annual electricity consumption. Assuming these procurements are successful, 
the Agency's green power purchases will account for fifty-two percent of nationwide EPA electricity 
consumption by Fiscal Year 2005.

EPA works with a number of federal agencies to help expand the number of facilities procuring 
green power throughout the federal government: 

0 General Services Administration (GSA) 

0 DOE's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) 

0 DOE's Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) 

0 DOD's Defense Energy Support Center (DESC) 

0 Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) 

Green power comes from a number of renewable sources, including wind, solar, geothermal, and 
landfill gas technologies. Compared to conventional energy sources, these technologies emit very 
low amounts of greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as carbon dioxide (C02), sulfur dioxide (S02), and 
nitrogen oxides (NOx). By purchasing green power, EPA reduces GHG emissions and helps support 
its mission of protecting and maintaining a healthy environment. EPA's green power purchases, 
under contract as of March 31, 2004, helped reduce C02 emissions by 230,899,562 pounds per 
year—the equivalent of removing 13,582 cars from the road for a year.

Energy and Water Conservation 


EPA is required under Executive Order 13123 and the Energy Policy Act of 1992 to reduce its energy 
and water use through efficient management practices. To address these requirements and be a 
good environmental steward, EPA focuses on energy and water conservation in its laboratories, 
particularly in those buildings it owns or where it pays for utilities. The Agency designs energy and 
water efficiency into the new buildings it occupies; in existing facilities it has used Energy Savings 
Performance Contracts to improve efficiency, conducted re-commissioning and retro-commissioning 
in laboratories where performance could be improved, targeted specific mechanical upgrades in 
some facilities, and installed renewable energy technologies in others. 

Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPCs) 

ESPCs are a third-party financing technique that enable federal agencies to finance major energy 
efficiency improvements without the need for using scarce facility capital improvement funds. EPA 
has pursued two ESPCs to achieve improved energy and water performance, saving approximately 
fourteen million dollars in Building and Facility funds. Under an ESPC, an Energy Services Company 
(ESCO) proposes projects to increase the energy efficiency at a facility, and, following agency 
approval, purchases and installs the necessary equipment, such as updated heating, ventilation, 
and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, and modern controls. In exchange for not having to pay 
the upfront project costs, the federal agency promises to pay the company a share of the utility cost 
savings resulting from the energy efficiency improvements. The ESCO is responsible for maintaining 
the equipment over the life of the contract.

Region 5: National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory, Ann Arbor, Michigan 

In 1998, EPA signed an ESPC with NORESCO for its National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory 
(NVFEL) in Ann Arbor, Michigan. NORESCO replaced NVFEL's obsolete and aging HVAC system and 
instituted a series of operational practices to ensure the new system would serve the needs of the 
laboratory while maintaining the highest practical degree of energy efficiency. Energy-saving 
technologies included: installation of new air handling units with indirect evaporative cooling; 
replacement of aging chillers and boilers with new chiller/boilers; and installation of a new cooling 
tower, a new direct digital control (DDC) system, and a 200 kilowatt fuel cell. Improvements are 
valued at ten million dollars. The ESPC has helped reduce the laboratory's annual energy use by 
more than forty-two percent, and water consumption by sixty percent. 


Region 6: Robert S. Kerr Environmental Research Center, Ada, Oklahoma 

The Environmental Research Center has installed a ground-source heat pump as part of its ESPC 
upgrade, which also includes variable air volume fume hoods and air supply, new fan motors, and 
an integrated digital direct control system for HVAC, energy, fire, and security management. The 
total value of improvements is approximately four million dollars. The ground-source heat pump has 
eliminated the use of natural gas, which greatly reduces energy consumption in the Ada laboratory. 
Substantial energy savings in excess of fifty percent are anticipated from this project, with final 
commissioning in November 2004. 

The geothermal system and reduction in current cooling tower operations will contribute to a 
reduction in water consumption of more than eighty percent. In addition to the environmental 
benefits, geothermal systems require lower maintenance than conventional systems, which will 
reduce Agency expenditures.

Commissioning 

Commissioning is one of the most important keys to energy efficiency in buildings. It starts during 
the design process, to ensure that the functionality of the systems being designed can meet the 
performance requirements. Commissioning during construction ensures that the equipment 
installed during construction is the equipment specified and is installed appropriately. 

Commissioning at the completion of construction ensures the systems operate as intended in the 
design. Commissioning is increasingly important as laboratory and office mechanical systems 
become more complex to build, operate, and maintain. Currently, EPA has extensive re¬ 
commissioning efforts underway at its Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, campus. 


Region 3 Laboratory, Fort Meade, Maryland 

When EPA's Environmental Science Center in Fort Meade, Maryland, opened in 1999, the building 
was not thoroughly commissioned. To ensure that the facility was operating in the energy-efficient 
manner in which it had been designed, EPA Headquarters and Region Three began a "re¬ 
commissioning" of the building in 2001. 

The re-commissioning revealed that the system operations were not maximizing the energy 
conservation potential of the original design. Even though the laboratory had installed variable air 
volume fume hoods, the facility's control system was not programmed properly to take advantage 
of the energy savings this equipment could provide. Specifically, the amount of air exhausted from 
the fume hood and conditioned air supplied to the labs did not decrease or increase appropriately 
when fume hood sashes were closed or opened. In addition, the night-time temperature and air 
change setback functions were not operating. The re-commissioning process also revealed that by 
better matching fume hood and fume hood manifold exhaust, the lab could reduce fume hood 
and fume hood manifold exhaust fan operations, thus saving energy. 

By March 2002, the re-commissioning was complete, confirming supply and exhaust requirements 
in each lab, correcting logic errors in the sequence of operations, re-programming the Building 
Automation System (BAS), and calibrating the mechanical system controls so that system operations 
matched BAS readings. This effort resulted in a twelve to fifteen percent reduction in energy use by 
the laboratory, and annual savings in utility expenses of more than $100,000. The project had a 
payback period of less than one year. 

A presentation on the Fort Meade re-commissioning project can be viewed on the Office of 
Administrative Services Web site at <www.epa.gov/greeningepa/facilities/fortmeade.htm>.

Mechanical Upgrades 



To improve energy performance over the long term, EPA has targeted several facilities to receive 
upgrades of their HVAC systems and controls. 


Region 1: Atlantic Ecology Division Laboratory, Narragansett, Rhode Island 

Atlantic Ecology Division Laboratory's chiller system had not been operating efficiently: chilled water 
from the supply side was mixing with—and getting warmed by—spent chilled water from the return 
side. This meant that chilled water was being delivered at a temperature twelve degrees Fahrenheit 
too warm, forcing the lab's chillers and cooling towers to use additional energy to "re-cool" the 
water. EPA is not only addressing this problem, but completing additional mechanical upgrades (see 
"Energy Master Planning" below). The construction contract for this project was awarded in 
September 2003 and completed in May 2004. These upgrades are expected to reduce the facility's 
energy use by approximately twelve percent. 


Region 9: Central Regional Laboratory, Richmond, California 

EPA is pursuing an ESPC-like mechanism to finance upgrades to improve energy performance at the 
Central Regional Laboratory in Richmond. The completed upgrade design includes a natural gas co¬ 
generation unit to provide electricity and hot water for laboratory operations and improve power 
reliability. Richmond is also planning to upgrade HVAC controls equipment in the facility and replace 
one large boiler with two smaller boilers, which can be staged for maximum efficiency. Under an 
arrangement with the firm from which EPA leases the building, the building owner will pay for the 
improvements, and EPA will pay it back with the utility savings it realizes. These upgrades are 
expected to result in a thirty percent energy savings for the Richmond facility.

Alternative Energy 


EPA employs onsite renewable energy technologies, at many facilities, to reduce its reliance on the 
electrical grid, conserve resources, and demonstrate renewable technologies. 

Alternate energy projects include: photovoltaic (PV, or solar energy) awnings in the Chelmsford, 
Massachusetts, lab; solar collectors at EPA's lab in Manchester, Washington,- and a solar wall in 
Golden, Colorado. These educational projects round out large alternative energy components such 
as the ground-source heat pump system included in the Ada ESPC and a 200-kW natural gas fuel cell 
installed as part of the Ann Arbor ESPC. 

A solar hot water heater is helping EPA reduce both energy and water consumption at its Region 
Nine Child Care and Fitness Center in San Francisco. The new "closed-loop" solar generation system 
eliminated the need for natural gas that went into the previous system. Energy-efficient washers 
and high-efficiency showerheads installed during the upgrade further reduce energy and water 
consumption and costs. 

The National Computer Center in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, is outfitted with a 100- 
kilowatt, integrated roof power system that is one of the largest PV installations on the east coast. 
Installed in April 2002, the PV system converts sunlight into electrical energy, feeding it directly to 
the building and supplementing the main power utility. The system's PV cells are backed with 
insulating polystyrene foam, which increases the building's thermal insulation. 

In addition, the RTP campus installed solar streetlights in parking lots and along facility roadways, 
creating the longest stretch of solar-lit roadway in the United States. The solar roof and street lights 
reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 100 tons annually when compared to 
conventional energy production.

Energy Master Planning 



In the past EPA's master plans for its facilities focused on factors such as future space requirements 
and architectural modifications. However, EPA is now incorporating energy and other sustainable 
design and operational considerations as well during the master planning process. 

Energy master plans identify long-term opportunities to improve the energy efficiency of EPA's HVAC 
systems and ensure that short-term mechanical system projects fit into a long-term sustainable 
vision for the facility. Following are some of the components that go into energy master planning: 

0 developing a long-term vision for a building's mechanical systems, performance and energy 
use,- 

♦ evaluating lifecycle costs of mechanical systems,- 

* providing a safe and comfortable environment for building occupants,- and 

0 implementing or acquiring mechanical systems that reduce environmental impacts. 

EPA completed an energy master plan for the Cincinnati AWBERC facility in 2003 that sets a 
framework for the multi-year HVAC infrastructure replacement project currently underway. 


Region 5: Andrew W. Breidenbach Environmental Research Center, Cincinnatti, Ohio 

The basic mechanical systems at EPA's second largest research facility are more than thirty years old, 
and AWBERC's mechanical infrastructure will need to be replaced over the next ten years. This 
laboratory is also one of the Agency's biggest energy consumers on a BTU-per-gross-square-foot 
basis. The energy master planning process identified significant opportunities for performance 
improvements, including a migration to variable air volume laboratory ventilation systems and more 
sophisticated controls. EPA also used this process to address infrastructure replacement sequencing 
issues, to reduce the inevitable interruptions in research, that would come from making system 
upgrades. Implementation of this plan is expected to produce a more reliable, safe, and energy- 
efficient laboratory.

EPA's Facility Planning & Design Standards 


Since its inception in 1970, EPA has grown at an average rate of 3.5% annually, with a parallel growth 
in its facilities. This expansion, together with the need to upgrade laboratory facilities, necessitated 
space planning guidelines that would ensure the safety and efficiency of all EPA buildings. To meet 
this need, the EPA Facilities Manual combines three elements - Space Guidelines,- Architecture, 
Engineering and Planning Guidelines,- and the Facility Safety, Health and Environmental 
Management Manual - that describe the standards for acquiring, building, and renovating EPA 
space. 

The Space Guidelines cover a range of topics, including space distribution, environmental 
considerations, suggestions for planning and design, space acquisition procedures, and selection of 
materials and furniture. One of EPA's goals is to achieve consistent quality office space for all its 
employees. The Guidelines have accordingly incorporated environmental considerations such as 
indoor air quality, energy efficiency, resource conservation, and pollution prevention. 

The Architecture, Engineering and Planning Guidelines provide specific requirements for all aspects 
of building construction that are incorporated in all new and renovation construction of EPA 
facilities. These guidelines focus particularly on laboratories and cover such topics as planning for 
flexibility by using modular laboratory spaces, requirements for heating, ventilation and air 
conditioning systems, electrical and plumbing systems, requirements for access to buildings by 
persons with disabilities, and purchasing of environmentally preferable construction materials and 
products. 

The Facility Safety, Health and Environmental Management Manual describes the full scope of 
features required in EPA-occupied facilities to maintain a safe and healthy work environment. The 
objective of this standard is to provide reasonable safeguards against injury, prevent fire exposure, 
health hazards and environmental damage, prevent property loss, promote health, well-being and 
productivity of occupants, promote the successful integration of environmental requirements into 
facility design processes to prevent pollution, and support EPA's goal of environmental stewardship.

Master Planning 



Master Planning for EPA Laboratories 


EPA has used a recurring Master Plan process for its laboratories since 1984. This process evaluates 
all EPA facilities, identifies critical needs for improving older facilities, and ensures that 
laboratories meet the research and analytical needs of the programs and regions. As a result of this 
process, most of EPA laboratories have either moved to new spaces or undergone significant 
renovations, becoming state-of-the-art laboratories. 


The Master Plan process has been invaluable in providing clear justification for funding buildings 
and facilities appropriations both for repair and improvement, and new construction. The process 
involves a detailed site investigation to assess facility conditions including interviewing facility staff 
and management to identify any areas that do not meet the needs of the program or region. 
Preliminary plans for improvement are developed together with cost estimates and 
implementation strategies. These plans are reviewed by senior management in the program or 
region, as well as by OARM management, to develop a five-year budget outlook for the Buildings 
and Facilities (B&F) budget, and to furnish the justifications for specific B&F projects. The Master 
Plan process is updated about every five years to assimilate changes in program requirements. 


In order to facilitate the Master Plan 
process, all information on EPA facilities, 
including drawings, photographs, work 
plans for individual B&F projects, has been 
entered into a database called SLATE 
(Strategic Lease and Asset Tracking 
Enterprise).

SLATE (Strategic Lease and Asset Tracking Enterprise) 

Tracking, Records Retention, Electronic Submittals 



EPA's Strategic Lease and Asset Tracking Enterprise (SLATE) is an internet-based facilities life-cycle 
management system that allows EPA to make sound management decisions regarding the needs 
of office and laboratory space. EPA's Architecture, Engineering and Asset Management Branch 
(AEAMB) is developing this system which automates, standardizes, and consolidates information 
used to track master planning, space use, facilities projects, and equipment. The system is the 
successor to the Facilities and Real Estate database (FRED) and has been in development since 
2003. 

The SLATE system consists of an Internet browser based database management system supported 
by computer-aided design (CAD) and other software tools that link drawing, information, 
photographs, and data. SLATE allows a user to submit and maintain facility level data as well as to 
view, create reports, and print a 
wide range of facility 
information. The system tracks 
construction projects from their 
planning stages through the 
budget process and building 
commissioning, supported by 
drawings, photographs, 
contracts, work plans and other 
supporting project data. It also 
provides space use analyses of 
EPA buildings. It allows EPA to do 
long term planning for Buildings 
and Facilities (B&F) budgets and 
helps ensure that EPA facilities 
continue to meet the highest 
scientific priorities of the agency. 

Some of SLATE'S features are: 



0 tracks space, people, telephones, equipment and ongoing repair at the local facility level; 

0 tracks proposed and ongoing B&F projects with links to budget and program requirements at 
the national level; 

0 provides a link between the engineers and architects responsible for B&F projects, and their 
counterparts in the programs, regional offices, and local facilities,- 
0 provides current capital and preventive maintenance costs on a site and nationwide basis,- 
0 links Master Plan information to budget and project data,- 
0 archives construction and as-built drawings on a site-by-site basis,- 

0 provides on-line tracking of general facilities information and mission statements nationwide,- 
0 supports regional and program office space and furniture/asset planning; and 
♦ allows for national, regional, program, and facility level reporting for data contained within the 
system 

SLATE is now located on the EPA Intranet in the Office of Administrative Services homepage 
(OASIS) at: http://dcoacfo1.reagan.epa/gov/main.cfm. There is an electronic Facility Guide for basic

Safety, Health, and 
Environmental Management 



EPA is committed to integration of safety, health and environmental management in its facility 
management process. 

To ensure and promote these goals throughout a facility's lifecycle, EPA gives utmost importance to 
the following considerations in the design, construction, and operation of its facilities: 

0 integration of safety, health and environmental management into the facility management 
process; 

♦ air handling systems - to ensure acceptable ventilation and indoor air quality,- 

0 fire and life safety systems - to ensure adequate detection, notification, and protection,- 
0 hazardous material storage tanks - to comply with standards,- 

♦ electrical and mechanical systems - to be easily accessible for safety reasons,- 

♦ prevention of environmental pollution,- 

0 compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act; 

♦ drinking water quality and wastewater management; 

0 laboratory space planning with special attention to hazardous material and waste storage 
areas, safety equipment, ventilation and lighting; 

o minimizing use of toxic chemicals in laboratories and the amount of hazardous waste that is 
generated; 

o integrated pest management with the least hazard to people, property, and environment; 

° protection of employees from occupational hazards,- and 

♦ compliance with the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know (EPCRA) 
requirements. 





Securing EPA's Facilities 


In response to the events of September 11, 2001, and the continued threat of terrorism against 
Federal assets and interests, the Security Management Division (SMD) in the Office of 
Administrative Services, has established programs to assess and mitigate physical security 
vulnerabilities in order to protect Agency employees, resources and facilities nationwide. 

Beginning in October 2001, SMD created several project teams to conduct qualitative physical 
security risk assessments at EPA facilities nationwide. In less than two years, this effort has led to 
the assessment of more than eighty-five sites and the identification of more than 1,000 
vulnerabilities. To document site-specific information, SMD developed a physical security risk 
assessment report for each site visited. These reports address a broad range of procedures and 
physical security controls used at EPA facilities. In addition, the reports identify and document 
vulnerabilities based on standards outlined in the Department of Justice's US Marshals Service 
Report, Vulnerability Assessment of Federal Facilities, lune 28, 1995 (Marshals Report). 

Pursuant to the Marshals Report standards, EPA facilities were classified based on size, number of 
employees and need for public access as well as threat and Agency mission. Each facility was 
assigned a security level I through V with security level V denoting the most critical, high-risk facility. 
The SMD security reviews assessed several areas including perimeter security (lighting, parking, 
closed circuit televisions and physical barriers), entry and exit security (receiving and shipping, 
access control entrances and exits), interior security (employee/visitor identification, utilities, 
occupant emergency plans and day care centers), and security planning (intelligence sharing, 
training, tenant assignment, administrative procedures and construction/renovation). 

Based on the information obtained in the assessments, SMD identified security vulnerabilities at 
each of the EPA facilities visited. The identification of these vulnerabilities allowed SMD, in 
coordination with the affected program or regional office, to implement necessary security 
measures. Vulnerabilities were then ranked based on facility criticality, facility security level and 
severity of risk associated with the vulnerability. 

Once the identification, ranking and prioritization of vulnerabilities was completed, SMD moved on 
to nationwide mitigation efforts. Working from the physical security assessment reports, SMD 
developed and recommended mitigation measures as well as initial cost projections for each 
vulnerability. In coordination with the program and regional offices, SMD continues to implement 
these mitigation strategies as well as assist with their funding. 

The physical security assessment and mitigation program at EPA has had great success. From 
Boston to Seattle, SMD is working with Program and Regional personnel to make the Agency's 
physical assets more secure. The Region Two Headquarters Office, located in Lower Manhattan, is 
designated as a security level IV facility with approximately 815 employees and 277,000 square feet 
of space. The work of the office includes the improvement of air quality in the New York 
Metropolitan Area; the assessment, restoration and protection of the Great Lakes; proper 
management and disposal of hazardous waste as well as the improvement of water quality in 
Puerto Rico. Prior to mitigation efforts, the Elk Street entrance provided a direct, unobstructed. 






Securing EPA's Facilities 



high-speed avenue of approach to the office. As a result of SMD's assessment, this entrance was 
deemed a vulnerability that provided the opportunity for extensive damage to resources and 
personnel. Completed mitigation efforts include the installation of a barrier and security guard 
post at the Elk Street entrance. The barrier prevents vehicles from gaining unauthorized access 
while the security guard post enables a guard to initiate emergency response procedures quickly. 

SMD also has worked with the Office of Research and Development's Mid-Continent Ecology 
Division (MED) of the National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laboratory in Duluth, 
Minnesota, to assess and mitigate security vulnerabilities. The MED facility is designated as a 
security level III facility with approximately 155 employees and 12,000 square feet of space and 
performs research to protect freshwater ecosystems, wildlife and to understand aquatic toxicity. 
Prior to SMD's mitigation efforts, the MED facility did not have a closed-circuit television (CCTV) 
system. The lack of such a system increased the facility's vulnerability to unauthorized and 
undetected penetration of key entrances. SMD worked with MED personnel to install an internal 
and perimeter CCTV system with a central monitoring capability. This use of technology is essential 
to increasing security and assisting the program in meeting the goal of providing a safe and secure 
work environment. 

These are just two examples of SMD's assessment and mitigation efforts on behalf of EPA 
nationwide. These efforts are ongoing and SMD will continue to work to ensure the security of 
EPA's employees, resources, and facilities nationwide.

EPA Headquarters Facilities 

Washington, DC Metropolitan Area 




EPA Headquarters is mainly located in a five building complex known as the Federal Triangle. This prominent 
location, bounded by 12th & 14th Streets, and Pennsylvania & Constitution Avenues NW, is within walking 
distance of the White House, the US Treasury Department, the National Mall and other federal agencies. A 
Metrorail stop on the Orange & Blue lines is located within the complex. 


The Agency occupies approximately 1.9 million rentable square feet of office space in the Federal Triangle 
Complex. EPA's final moves into the complex were completed in November of 2002. The final building to be 
renovated and occupied was EPA West (formerly the US Customs Service Building). Along with EPA East 
(formerly the Interstate Commerce Commission Building), the Connecting Wing and the Ariel Rios Building, 
EPA has renovated and restored about 1.6 million rentable square feet of historic space at Federal Triangle. 

The complex provides dining facilities, a child care center and a fitness center. The amenities are available to 
all EPA employees at Federal Triangle. 








The growth of the Agency has necessitated the 
acquisition of space outside of the Federal Triangle 
complex. These facilities are in Washington, DC and 
in the Maryland and Virginia suburbs surrounding the 
city. Including Federal Triangle, these facilities 
together house the 8,000 (approximate) employees 
of EPA Headquarters in about 2.6 million square feet 
of space. Most of these facilities are in close 
proximity to Metrorail stations, and, as an added 
convenience, EPA also provides a shuttle service 
between the various facilities.

Originally called the New Post Office Building, the neo-classic Ariel Rios Federal Building was constructed in 
1934. It is EPA's "front door" and the official address of the EPA. The Agency's Administrator occupies offices 
on the third floor. The building has seven stories and one basement and the plan resembles an hourglass 
with two large interior courts. 

The Ariel Rios Building is located on the 12th Street side of the Federal Triangle Block and has direct access to 
the Federal Triangle Station of the Metro subway system. EPA's New Headquarters plan was first announced 
in late 1993 and the first occupants, the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA), moved 
into the south half of the building during the winter of 1995-1996. The programs that occupy the north side 
of Ariel Rios moved into the building in stages, the last of which took place in December 2000. 

Renovation of the ARFB consisted of the installation of a new mechanical system, an upgraded electrical 
system, new lighting, and a sprinkler system. Facades and decorative features were cleaned and / or 
restored as needed. The renovation also included correction of building code deficiencies, including 
changes made to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards, and asbestos and lead 
abatement. Every effort was made to maintain, restore, or replicate elements of historic interest. This 
renovation followed the standard scope of work for historical buildings.

West Building respectively. Renovations for EPA's occupancy of these historic buildings started in 1998 and 
were completed in the summer of 2002. 

In November 2000, components of the Office of Water with approximately 150 people moved into the 
completed seventh floor of the East Building along with OEI's partial occupancy of the basement computer 
rooms. EPA's phased occupancy continued over the next two years with the final moves taking place in August 
2002 . 

This portion of the Federal Triangle complex contains a variety of EPA special facilities. OEI's central computer 
rooms are located in East Building basement, while the West Building basement houses a large portion of 
EPA's Public Dockets. The Administrative Law Judges and Environmental Appeals Board high-tech Court Room 
is located in the East Building's historic first floor Hearing Room. Capabilities include video conferencing, 
audio conferencing, laptop inputs for three judges, attorneys, evidence, and witnesses, and two large plasma 
screens for audience review. Each judge, attorney, and witness has a preview monitor, there is a telestrator 
and color printer for evidence, a document camera for paper or transparencies, wireless head sets for hearing 
impaired, direct system outputs for the court reporter and a VCR for evidence playback. 


EPA's central library is located on the fourth floor of the Connecting Wing. In January 2003 the new EPA 
cafeteria, located in the basement of the Connecting Wing, was opened to the EPA community. The cafeteria 
offers a variety of food as well as a variety of sight and sounds with its live display of tropical sea life and multi¬ 
screen audio-visual display wall.

EPA acquired this facility in 2003, on a ten-year lease under GSA's Advance Acquisition Program. The building is 
located in the heart of the business district of Washington, DC between 13th & 14th Streets NW on L Street, 
approximately eight and a half blocks from The federal Triangle Complex. This building is less than a block 
from the well known Franklin Court Building, which houses a component of The Administrator's Office. The 
nearest Metro subway stop is McPherson Square, about two blocks south on 14th street. As with most 
Headquarters buildings, this building is on the EPA shuttle bus route. 

1310 L Street is a 1960s, base framed concrete structure owned by The Cafritz Foundation. It was completely 
renovated in 2001. The building is ten stories high with three levels of underground parking. Each floor plate, 
from the second through the tenth, is a compact 14,000 rentable (13,000 usable) square feet. EPA occupies the 
entire building of approximately 125,000 usable square feet. 

The size of this building offered a unique opportunity to consolidate the components of the Office of Air & 
Radiation (OAR) from 501 & 633 3rd Street, located near Judiciary Square. Approximately 570 employees of OAR 
are currently housed in this building, with a total capacity for 650. OAR offices in this building are the Office of 
Atmospheric Programs (OAP), the Office of Radiation & Indoor Air (ORIA), and the Office of Transportation & 
Air Quality (OTAQ). 

The building has been designed as a self contained facility with shared amenities such as a state-of-the-art 
conference/training center, a fitness center, health unit, a large bike & shower/lockers facility, lactation room, 
quiet room, lounge, large pantry/lunch room, and mail room located on the lower levels. The underground 
parking garage is EPA managed and is for the exclusive use of the occupants. Secure access to the building is 
controlled at the first floor entrance lobby by a security guard (24/7), a magnetometer and an x-ray machine. In 
addition, each floor has secure access via card key controlled suite entry doors.

The Woodies Building is the newest addition to the Agency's Headquarters facilities outside the Federal 
Triangle Complex. While the entire base building is in the midst of an extensive rehabilitation, construction of 
EPA's space is complete. EPA's Office of Research & Development (ORD) National Center for Environmental 
Research (NCER), a component of approximately 130 persons, and The Office of the Administrator's Science 
Advisory Board (SAB), approximately thirty persons, occupy the entire third floor (about 40,000 usable square 
feet). EPA will be a GSA sub-tenant on a ten-year lease under the Advance Acquisition Program. 

The "Woodies" Building, named for the former Woodward & Lothrop Company Department Store, is both 
historically and architecturally significant. This century-old handsome city landmark fills nearly the entire city 
block bounded by 10th and 11th Streets and F and G Streets NW. It has many character defining elements that 
contribute to the building's historic significance. This eleven story building is protected by District of Columbia 
Historic Preservation and National Park Service mandates. 


EPA's space on the third floor is on two split levels, due to the nature of the base building floor plate. The 
smaller upper and the larger lower level are connected by sets of steps and ramps along the central core. The 
building's high slab to slab bays offer opportunity for variations in ceiling height in the tenant space. The 
space has been designed with high ceiling areas along the full height perimeter windows and in the 
interconnecting system of corridors. The main entrance and reception area, just off the historic marble floored 
elevator lobby, has a rotunda-like ceiling with special lighting. An exclusively designed, 120-seat capacity 
Conference Center for SAB occupies the east quadrant of the floor. A number of smaller conference rooms, 
pantries & coffee stations are distributed within the ORD & SAB suites. The ORD suite has a state-of-the-art 
video conference room. There is also a small lactation room on the floor. EPA's space is secured not only by a 
guard manning the magnetometer and x-ray machine, but also via key card access to all entrances. ' 


The building sits above the Metro Center subway stop and is also served by EPA's shuttle bus route.

Environmental Appeals Board, Office of the Administrator (AO) 


With the release of the Westory Building in September 2002, The Environmental Appeals Board (EAB) moved to 
The Colorado Building at 1341 G Street, NW. EPA's Environmental Appeals Board (EAB) is the final Agency 
decision-maker on administrative appeals under all major environmental statutes that the Agency administers. 
This component of the Administrator's Office consists of about twenty-five people including the four Judges, 
Attorneys, other para-legal personnel, and interns. The entire sixth floor of this eleven story historic building 
was renovated to accommodate the special needs of this group. 

EPA's design standards call for an open workstation plan, limiting the number of enclosed offices located on 
the perimeter walls. Due to the nature of the work done by the EAB, these standards were superceded by the 
functional need to give the majority of the staff secure private office space. Although the standards for open 
workstations were set aside, the intent of that plan, to give the majority of the personnel exposure to natural 
lighting, was accomplished as all staff are located in perimeter offices. 

The floor plate of the Colorado Building is square, but the sixth floor was designed with the intent of breaking 
up that "boxy" feel. With very little natural light entering the interior spaces, special design elements were 
utilized to offset this disadvantage. Curves were incorporated into walls, ceiling lines, and carpeting to add 
interest and character to what otherwise may have given a tunnel-like feel to hallways. Special light fixtures 
were installed to give a glow to the space, artwork chosen to add interest and style, and wall and carpet colors 
were chosen to give a feeling of openness and light. 

As with all new EPA facilities, environmentally friendly materials were utilized, including recycled fabric wall 
covering, aired-out carpet, VOC-free adhesives and paints, etc. Although specialized lighting design was 
implemented, energy efficient compact fluorescent lamped fixtures were utilized that meet the agency's 
stringent lighting design guidelines.

The Judiciary Building is a Government owned eight story building located within the Judiciary Square area of 
Washington, DC. The EPA shuttle bus system connects this building with EPA offices at 1310 L Street, NW and 
Federal Triangle. Public transportation is accessed through the nearby Judiciary Square Station of the Metrorail 
system's Red Line. 

EPA occupied the completely renovated seventh and eighth floors in January 2001 and the third floor during 
the spring of 2002. When fully occupied, this building will house approximately 145 EPA employees and 
contractors. 

The open plan design for this EPA space utilizes the same design philosophy developed for EPA's Federal 
Triangle buildings. The design minimizes the number of enclosed spaces along the perimeter walls to allow 
for maximum access to natural light and views by the majority of EPA employees. The seventh floor has a 
1,000 square foot computer facility with raised floor and separate HVAC and UPS systems.

The EPA Region One offices are located at One Congress Street in an area of downtown Boston called the 
Government Center, where federal, state and local agencies occupy a cluster of several large office buildings. 
The EPA offices are housed on two floors that, in 1990, were added on the top of the large Government 
Center parking garage, constructed in 1970. 

The parking garage building, sheathed in precast concrete, presents a stepped-back profile to the street, and 
bears a superficial resemblance to the nearby Boston City flail. Access to the two office floors is provided by a 
elevator bank and lobby that is appended to the side of the garage structure. The office spaces on floors ten 
and eleven receive natural light from large exterior windows and a long rectangular skylit atrium that provides 
light to interior spaces. 

The building sits above the Haymarket "T" station, which serves the Green and Orange lines of the 
Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (The "T"). 

In 1998, when the Department of Labor vacated its Congress Street offices, EPA Region One had the 
opportunity to consolidate its Boston operation. The Office of Site Remediation and Restoration, along with 
the Superfund Records Center, ConferenceTTraining Center and Library, which had been located three blocks 
away at 90 Canal Street, were moved to One Congress Street, and the Canal Street facility was released. The 
entire Congress Street office space was renovated and reorganized. 

The Region One offices now occupy three quarters of the tenth floor and all of the eleventh floor. 

Upon the expiration of its lease here, EPA will move its regional headquarters to the McCormack Building in 
downtown Boston. Renovation of this historic structure is planned over the next three years.

Boston, Massachusetts 



The Region One headquarters of EPA, currently located on One Congress Street, will be occupying 
approximately 230,000 usable square feet (usf) of space in the twenty-two story McCormack Post Office and 
Courthouse (POCH) building in 2007. 

The POCH, which is located in downtown Boston and adjacent to Post Office Square, is a Boston landmark 
and a distinguished historic structure representing the Art Deco style. The building is slated to undergo a 
complete modernization to repair and renew all architectural and engineering systems. This effort will 
encompass principles of sustainable design by achieving the LEED™ Silver rating. 


The building is located adjacent to aT station (Massachusetts Bay Tranportation Authority's subway system) 
and is expected to contain a cafeteria, health center, fitness center and a retail facility for the use of federal 
employees occupying this building.

The completion of EPA's New England Regional Laboratory in Chelmsford, Massachusetts marks a new level of 
environmental achievement in EPA's continuing effort to lead by example. This facility incorporates an array of 
environmental features, including energy efficient heating and cooling systems, active solar power and 
lighting, recycled materials, environmentally friendly landscaping, improved indoor air quality measures and 
support for wind-powered electricity to run the building (see Introduction section for more details). 

EPA sought and received a LEED 1 " (Leadership in Energy and Environment Design) Gold certification from the 
US Green Building Council. The Chelmsford Lab was also honored with the 2002 White House Closing the 
Circle Award for its recycling efforts and integrated sustainable design. Additionally, GSA awarded the lab its 
Demolition Derby Award for the extensive effort made to recycle construction materials. More than fifty 
percent of the generated solid waste was diverted from landfills. 

From the beginning, the Lab at Chelmsford was imagined, designed, and built with the highest environmental 
priorities. The building is sited on a high outcropping of rock, taking advantage of natural drainage and the 
cooling effects of the prevailing winds. Removed stone was crushed and re-used for roadbed and fill material 
and large stones were preserved for use as a retaining wall. Existing trees and natural areas were maintained 
as much as possible and EPA planted about forty local species of trees and plants as well. 

Resources naturally available on the site were utilized to avoid generating unnecessary debris, minimize site 
demolition, and reduce heavy equipment traffic. All soil and gravel on the site was stockpiled and graded for 
later use as fill or loam. Blasted rock outcroppings were crushed on-site and used as base material for concrete 
paving; sub-base for bituminous concrete pavement; backfill for footings, structures and pipe bedding; and for 
under-drain filter aggregate. Reuse of materials avoided disposal costs and was sufficient to complete the 
landscaping and fill work with only a minimal amount of sand brought in for finish grading. 

Materials used in construction contained the highest recycled content available. Using them eliminated 
pollution from extraction of new materials, transportation and manufacturing. Additionally, it reduced the 
need to dispose of the recovered materials and encouraged recycling in the industry. The following recycled 
materials were used in construction: fly-ash containing concrete (use of this type of concrete diverted 126 tons 
of fly-ash from becoming part of the waste stream), steel, gypsum wallboard, ceiling tiles, insulation and 
hydromulch. 

A high priority was placed on obtaining materials within 300 miles of the site, reducing transportation costs, 
fuel consumption, and the resulting pollution. Overall, it is estimated that over 200 tons of material were saved 
from ending up in landfills.

Primary Use • Office 



• Office of the Inspector General (OIG) 

• Office of Enforcement & Compliance Assurance (OECA) 



The thirty story Foley Square Federal Office Building at 290 Broadway in Lower Manhattan, was constructed in 
1995 to house several federal agencies, including the EPA Region Two Headquarters. The EPA occupies floors 
fifteen through twenty-nine of this building. Other federal tenants include the Internal Revenue Service and 
the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Foley Square has a total of 1,008,850 gross square feet. 

Prior to its move to the new Foley Square Federal Building, Region Two Headquarters was located in the 
nearby Jacob K. Javits Federal Building at 26 Federal Plaza. Space layouts there had become somewhat 
fragmented over several floors as a result of agency growth. The move to Foley Square allowed EPA to 
consolidate all of its divisions, thus leading to a more efficient use of space and improving functional 
relationships among the various organizational components. 

The Foley Square Building is a modern steel-framed, fireproof structure. EPA offices are served by a bank of 
eight high speed elevators and two large service elevators. The typical floor plate permits open-plan work 
stations to be placed around the central core containing elevators, stairs, and restrooms, while most enclosed 
offices are located towards the interior. Selected interior structural bays have been designed for heavier live 
loads and allow the use of high-density files. 

Region Two components located here are the Office of the Regional Administrator (ORA), the Office of the 
Regional Counsel (ORC), the Communications Division (CD), the Office of Policy and Management (OPM), the 
Division of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA), the Division of Environmental Planning and 
Protection (DEPP), and the Emergency and Remedial Response Division (ERRD). 

Foley Square also houses two headquarters field components: the Criminal Investigations Division 
(CID/OECA), and the Office of the Inspector General (OIG).

The EPA Edison facility is a multi-use laboratory and office complex located thirty miles from New York City. 

The facility supports the activities of several EPA organizations, including OSWER's National Environmental 
Response Team East (ERT), ORD's Urban Watershed Management Branch, the Regional Division of 
Environmental Science and Assessment, the Pesticides and Toxic Substances Program of the Regional Division 
of Enforcement and Compliance Assistance and two components of the Regional Emergency and Remedial 
Response Division. It also houses components of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the 
Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), the Public Health Service (PHS) and the General 
Services Administration (GSA).

The Region Two lab provides comprehensive analytical support data for enforcement; compliance assistance; 
and monitoring for Superfund sites, coastal waters, several Brownfields, and three nationally recognized 
estuaries in New York, New Jersey, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. The facility supports emergency 
response operations. Superfund removal actions, pesticide and toxic substances enforcement, lab data quality 
assurance and quality control, field monitoring and sampling, and helicopter operations. 

The ERT is a group of EPA technical experts who provide around-the-clock assistance at the scene of hazardous 
substance releases, offering expertise in such areas as treatment, biology, chemistry, hydrology, geology, and 
engineering. They support the full range of emergency response actions, including emergency incidents such 
as the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the Shuttle Columbia recovery operation. In such cases, ERT brings in special 
equipment and experienced responders, and provides technical assistance and advice to other Agency 
responders. The ERT also maintains a laboratory at Edison that supports their national rapid response activities. 


The Urban Watershed Management Branch conducts research to reduce water pollution, particularly 
discharges from separate storm drainage systems and combined sewer overflows (CSO) in urban 
environments. It has an extensive underground piping research installation at the facility that tests leak 
detection technologies and models the hydrodynamics of urban sewer systems. 


The Edison facility has been at the forefront of the Agency's response to environmental emergencies in the 
metropolitan New York area. The Agency mounted its rapid response to the World Trade Center attack from 
Edison. The lab's location, in the New York City Metropolitan Area and its proximity to several major highways, 
allowed it to serve as a critical staging area for collaboration with multiple agencies involved in disaster 
mitigation efforts. Its location and the facility's unique national and regional response expertise and laboratory 
capability make it a valuable resource in the Agency's Homeland Security and counter-terrorism activities. 

The facility operates in a 200 acre parcel that was once part of a major Army installation. There are nine 
principal buildings and numerous trailers at the facility housing training installations, laboratories, offices,

District of Philadelphia. EPA occupies floors two through fourteen, and sixteen (fifteen is a mechanical floor). 
EPA leases support space in parts of two basement levels and part of the first floor. 

1650 Arch Street is a concrete-framed structure built in 1974 and remodeled extensively 
prior to EPA's occupancy in 1998. The typical floor plan is square in shape, with the core 
offset to one side. The design provides interior space that is almost column-free, maximizing 
flexibility in the layout of work stations. All workspace is within fifty feet of an exterior window. EPA occupies 
about 270,375 usable square feet (including support areas) and provides workstations for about 1,300 persons. 


Beneath the building is an underground concourse that leads to the SEPTA (Southeastern Pennsylvania 
Transportation Authority) regional rail lines, as well as to local parking garages, shops, services, and other 
office buildings. SEPTA bus stops are within a block of 1650 Arch Street.

The Atlanta Federal Center, with about 1.1 million square feet of office space, and an additional 103,000 
square feet of joint use space, houses the offices of twenty-two different federal agencies. GSA, the landlord, 
leases the land from the City of Atlanta. EPA occupies about 330,000 rentable square feet, housing about 1,400 
employees, and is the largest federal tenant in the building. 

The Atlanta Federal Center is situated on four acres bisected by a secondary street on the 
edge of the central business district, at the MARTA (Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit 
Authority) Five Points Station. The complex consists of four connected structures: a twenty-four 
story high-rise tower, a ten story mid-rise tower, a six story historic department store that has been restored 
and converted to office use, and an eight story "bridge'office structure that spans the street and links the 
high-rise and mid-rise office buildings. There is a multi-story parking garage with a capacity of 1,600 vehicles. 
Shared-use facilities in the Atlanta Federal Center, available to all federal employees. Include a food court, 
health and fitness center, child care center, and a conference center. 



EPA's offices are in the high-rise tower. The Agency occupies floors nine through fifteen, one half of sixteen, 
and parts of the third and the eighth floor. Because floors fifteen and sixteen are served by an elevator bank 
other than the bank serving floors nine through fourteen, there are stairs linking floors fourteen and fifteen to 
provide internal circulation within the EPA space. 


The long, narrow floors of the high-rise tower, with about 34,000 square feet of office space per floor, have a 
shallow depth from window wall to core that permits maximum natural light to reach all of the systems 
furniture workstations. The space planning has allowed for ample amenities and support space, with several 
conference rooms per floor, an employee lounge/pantry at each level, and provision for filing, copy rooms, 
storage and similar support areas. 


The ninth floor contains special spaces oriented towards use by the public, including the library, training 
rooms, the computer center, and video-teleconferencing facilities.

Sabine Island lies in Santa Rosa Sound, eight miles south-east of Pensacola, Florida. It is a manmade island of 
sixteen and a half acres and is accessible from Santa Rosa Island via Fort Pickens Road West to Villa Sabine 
Drive. 

\ Sabine Island was born of efforts to stop the spread of yellow fever. In 1876 authorities issued an order of 
\ ballast disposal requiring ships entering the port of Pensacola to discharge ballast and undergo fumigation. 
; The disposal site built up and eventually became a land mass. 

By 1903 the island had stabilized and was transferred by the War Department to the Treasury Department 
and left dormant until 1906 when a hurricane destroyed a nearby quarantine station. A new station was built 
on the ballast island and outfitted with a hospital, an isolation hospital, caretaker's, pharmacist's and doctor's 
residences, a doctor's office, fumigation shed, workshop and boathouse. 

1947 brought about a transfer of the island to the Bureau of Fisheries. The island's new function was to 
establish an experimental oyster farm. The Works Progress Administration and the Public Works Administration 
enlarged and modified the quarantine buildings, laid walkways and built large tanks for salinity experiments. 

In 1948, the Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service established a laboratory which studied cyclic 
changes in animal populations and pollution effects of agricultural chemicals. In 1960, director Dr. Philip Butler 
gave the island the official name "Sabine Island" for postal purposes. By 1962, the laboratory had nine 
buildings, 5,000 square feet of wet laboratory working space, 1,000 square feet of storage and shop facilities, a 
36-foot diesel powered work boat equipped for trawling and dredging, and several smaller boats. 

In 1970, the island was turned over to the Environmental Protection Agency and its main mission became "to 
bridge the gap from ecosystem health to human health by assessing the transport of chemicals in the marine 
environment and the potential transfer from the marine food web to man." A new wet lab facility was 
dedicated in 1977 to house seawater toxicology and analytical chemistry laboratories. By 1978, Sabine Island 
housed ten frame and thirteen temporary buildings, which included a technical library and a computer center. 

This laboratory is a primary research facility of the EPA National Health and Environmental Effects Research 
Laboratory, under the Office of Research and Development (ORD). Research is conducted to understand the 
physical, chemical, and biological dynamics of coastal systems to assess the ecological condition of the Gulf 
of Mexico,- to determine the cause(s) of affected systems; to predict future risk to aquatic organisms, 
populations, communities, and ecosystems,- and to establish criteria to protect coastal environments. 

The physical plant at the Gulf Ecology Division consists of approximately fifty separate structures that vary in 
age from four to ninety years. Construction ranges from temporary wood-frame to poured-in-place concrete.

The EPA - Research Triangle Park (RTP) campus covers one quarter mile from end to end. With space for 2,200 
people and 10,000 research animals, 400 individual laboratories, a conference center, a cafeteria, a national 
computer center and a childcare center scheduled for completion in 2005, it is the largest complex ever 
built and owned by EPA. This property is situated on 510 forested acres nestled in beautiful Durham County, 
adjacent to Interstate 40 and surrounded by the cities of Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill. This campus 
consolidates EPA's functions on a site neighboring the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences 


n (NIEHS). 


EPA has achieved a tremendous accomplishment in creating a facility that embodies its environmental ethics, 
while balancing out issues related to the mission of the Agency and the global environment. Designed by the 
architectural firm of Hellmuth, Obata and Kassabaum (HOK), it rests on a slope overlooking a woodland lake 
and below a knoll that is home to the site's oldest trees. Embedding the facility into the sloping terrain allows 
the landscape to remain intact, reducing disruptions to the natural habitat during and after construction. 


RTP is EPA's major center for air pollution research and regulation. EPA's Office of Air Quality Planning and 
Standards (OAQPS) a National Headquarters office, is centered in RTP. In addition, the Office of Research and

The National Computer Center (NCC) is a new, 100,000 square feet, state-of-art, computer center located on the 
United States Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) campus in Research Triangle Park, NC. Its mission is to 
support the EPA in the area of environmental, scientific, and administrative applications. The NCC serves EPA 
customers, other agencies, and contractors nationwide through a vast telecommunications A 

network which allows the distribution of computer services to remote locations. The 
facility provides a broad range of information and technology services that enables 
secure information exchange, data analysis, and scientific investigation. The NCC hosts a 
range of information resources that includes an application-hosting environment, an IBM Enterprise Server, and 
an environmental modeling and scientific data visualization laboratory. 

Built with "Green" in mind, the NCC was designed and constructed to use approximately 40 percent less energy 
than a typical, code-compliant computing and office facility. Atop the NCC rests a 100-kilowatt solar roof, 
comprised of 2,185 tiles, that provides the energy to satisfy the NCC's lighting load, while producing zero 
pollution. High-efficiency fluorescent lighting is used throughout the facility and motion sensors mounted on 
the ceiling turn lights off when an area is vacant. The building is situated with the broadest face of the Center 
lobby facing south, which helps moderate seasonal fluctuations in solar radiation. This orientation, coupled 
with heat-absorbing floor tiles, enables the facility to harvest "free heating" in the winter as the radiation that is 
absorbed by the tiles is re-emitted.

Researchers at the Reproductive Toxicology lab conduct and manage biological research on the effects of 
environmental pollutants, singly or in combination, on all stages of the life cycle. The research identifies and 
quantifies effects using the appropriate biological systems as models to provide data needed by the Agency 
for the assessment of potential hazards to humans resulting from exposure to various 
environmental pollutants. The chemical agents under investigation include toxic 
substances, pesticides, air pollutants, drinking water contaminants, and hazardous 
wastes. Biological indices for assessing damage include germ cell physiology, morphology 
and function, reproductive development and function, endocrine function related to reproduction and 
teratogenesis. Major research emphasis is on the development of new and improved methodologies for the 
assessment of male and female reproductive toxicity, embryo and fetal toxicity, and postnatal functional 
deficits. 

The research generated by this lab contributes to the improved interpretation of toxicological data, the 
development of guidelines for the safe usage of pesticides and toxics (chemical and biological), management 
of hazardous waste, establishment of safe drinking water criteria as well as construction of biologically-based 
dose response models for reproductive and developmental toxicology that will provide scientifically sounder 
risk assessments with reduced uncertainties.

Research Center (AWBERC) is a state-of-the-art research facility 4 offjce of Cjvj) Rj ^ hts (AO) 

situated on twenty-two acres, five miles north of downtown 

Cincinnati, Ohio. EPA's second largest research and development facility is internationally recognized for water 
research and has become a leader in bioremediation and pollution prevention. AWBERC supports EPA's efforts 
to educate the public on the environment, emergency response training and other established programs. 

The Cincinnati Center consists of three buildings, with a fourth under construction. The main facility was 
constructed on a planning module often feet by twenty-three feet which provides laboratories with the 
flexibility to expand and contract as mission requirements change. The service core is 
located in the center with offices and laboratories accommodated in two nine-story 
wings radiating from the core. The auditorium, cafeteria and conference rooms are 
located on two of the lower levels. A library and a computer room are also located here. 

The containment facility is adjacent to the main research facility. It is a 7,000 square foot, self contained facility, 
equipped with state-of-the-art security, fire protection, waste containment and disposal systems. Mechanical 
systems monitor and treat exhaust air before discharge. The child care facility is located nearby at the 
intersection of Bishop and Nixon Streets. Its 5,200 square feet of space houses staff offices, kitchens, lounges, 
and classrooms for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. Each classroom has access to outside playgrounds. 

A new 22,000 square foot research support addition is currently under construction and will be finished in the 
fall of 2004. It will house ORD's National Center for Environmental Assessment. The annex will consist of 
offices and conference rooms and will house fifty employees. 

The AWBERC building systems, particularly the HVAC system, have exceeded their life expectancy of thirty 
years. An Engineering/Energy Master Plan was developed to identify strategies to replace the aged and 
deteriorating systems with a state-of-the-art, flexible, secure and energy efficient building infrastructure. 

Specific items identified in the plan include duct leakage problems, lack of redundancy, and outdated 
constant volume auxiliary air fume hoods. The replacement of the cooling towers, air handling units, exhaust 
fans, fume hoods and ductwork will be accomplished over a six year period. One air handling unit will be 
replaced per construction phase resulting in partial building shutdowns for approximately four to six months. 

This effort is currently in the design phase with the replacement of the cooling towers planned for FY2004. 
Additional office swing space is required to relocate occupants before construction begins. In anticipation of 
the work on the first air handler occurring in FY2006, a second research support addition is currently under 
design and will be constructed in FY2005. Once the AWBERC infrastructure improvements are completed, this 
annex will provide for added programs and maximize the amount of lab space in the main building by 
accommodating the office functions. This addition will be approximately 25,400 square feet and will be 
located adjacent to the annex currently under construction. ^ oEPA

The National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory (NVFEL) is a two building complex located forty miles west 
of downtown Detroit in northeast Ann Arbor. The Lab Building, located just east of the Office Building on a 
fifteen- acre site, provides approximately 112,745 usable square feet in a main, high bay building and three 
office wings (two original and a third wing added in 1976). 



The lab building was initially leased from the State of Michigan between 1971 and 1991, after which it was 
purchased by the Agency. Although the physical plant has evolved to respond to EPA mission needs, 
significant portions of the building infrastructure have become obsolete or are at the end of their useful life. 
The Agency's first Energy Saving Performance Contract (ESPC) was put in place here in mid-1998 and has 
helped replace aging and inefficient major building systems with modern, energy-efficient, integrated 
systems controlled by a direct digital control system (DDC). The master plan under development calls for 
other phased improvements to the building, site and infrastructure. 


NVFEL is the primary EPA research laboratory for fuel and emissions testing. Work in this lab supports OAR's 
Office of Transportation and Air Quality's (OTAQ) efforts to establish and enforce emission standards for 
motor vehicles, engines and fuels as well as the development of automotive technology. 

OTAQ has five divisions located in two buildings in Ann Arbor and two buildings in Washington, DC. They are 
the Advanced Technology Division, Assessment & Standards Division, Certification & Compliance Division, 
Laboratory Operations Division, and Transportation & Regional Programs Division.

Occupied in April 1998, this single story, build-to-suit building is a steel structure with external walls of brick and 
glass fenestration. The central mechanical systems are located in a penthouse atop the two building cores 
containing restrooms and utility closets. The building incorporates energy-efficient mechanical and electrical 
systems utilizing a Direct Digital Control (DDC) system to optimize performance of building systems. Low flow 
bathroom and locker room fixtures allow for water conservation. 

The office building was designed to maximize natural lighting in all areas of the 
building. The ratio of windows to walls is more than forty percent and additional natural 
light is provided through skylights and a large clerestory. All of the offices, conference and 
meeting rooms have wide, floor-to-ceiling "sidelights" (glass panels near the doors) to enhance light 
distribution. Green Lights with automatic dimmers and occupancy sensors have been installed throughout, 
using indirect lighting fixtures to prevent computer screen glare and create a more pleasant environment.

and predict the present and future effects of biotic and abiotic stressors on freshwater ecological resources 
with known certainty in support of short- and long-term management goals. The laboratory is located on a 
three-acre parcel and contains the main laboratory building and several support buildings. 



Grosse lie began its life of government service in 1926 when the Olds Farm (encompassin 
most of the southern-most portion of Grosse lie) was purchased by the Navy. A hangar 
and landing field was built to facilitate construction of an all-metal airship. In the ensuing 
years, a seaplane base and a combination hangar-administration building were also 
constructed. In 1929, the ZMC-2, the world's first metal-clad airship, was completed. 


In the 1930s, the state of Michigan leased the entire 375 acres of the base from the federal government and 
made many improvements, including the addition of buildings for military personnel. When World War II 
broke out in 1939, Grosse lie's training program increased to over 1,000 cadets (including future President, 
George H. W. Bush) per month and was also used to train over 1,800 British cadets. The Navy property was 
expanded to 604 acres and construction activity greatly increased. By the end of the war in 1945, all land on 
which the Grosse lie Naval Air Station rested became Naval property. 


In 1955, the Army installed a NIKE-AJAX guided missile base and underground missile silos on the property, but 
by 1962 the base was declared obsolete and decommissioned. The Grosse lie US Naval Air Station was closed 
in 1969. 


The property retained by the federal government was occupied by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 
in 1970. In addition to the main compound and laboratory, the site also has a remote forty-acre undeveloped 
parcel of land containing a quarry pool and marshland (formerly the NIKE-AJAX site, demolition and restoration 
of which was completed by the Department of Defense in 1993). 


Co-located with ORD is the Response Section One of the Emergency and Enforcement Branch of Region Five's 
Superfund Division, the Criminal Investigation Division of the Office of Enforcement and Compliance 
Assurance, and Region Five's Water Division.

Region 6 Lab 



The Region Six Environmental Services Branch Laboratory, located in Houston, provides environmental 
analytical services for regional programs, and serves as the source of scientific expertise and prestige for US 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) national and regional regulatory and executive decisions. It provides 
quality assured analytical support using state-of-the-art techniques and methodology for organic, inorganic, 
and biological analyses. Laboratory personnel also perform evaluations and audits of environmental 
monitoring laboratories and public water supply laboratories. Management of the Regional Contract 
Laboratory Program, including sample scheduling, sample routing, data verification, data validation and data 
usability, are responsibilities of the laboratory. Technical expertise is provided to the region, and to other 
federal, state, tribal and local entities. Expert witness support is provided for both civil and criminal 
enforcement cases. 

The fast pace of emerging technologies and science requires that the laboratory stay at the forefront of new 
\ analytical procedures. The original Houston Laboratory consisted of several mobile buildings located near 
A the Houston Ship Channel. This operation was established as a result of an enforcement conference 
tj conducted in 1970 and 1971 under the terms of the US Army Corps of Engineers Refuse Act Program. A 
permanent facility was constructed and occupied by EPA in June of 1972. This facility was designed to 
handle the classical water quality parameters, such as biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen 
demand (COD), total organic carbon (TOC), nutrients, metals, total and fecal coliform, pesticides, oil and 
grease and bioassays. 

As environmental programs evolved into addressing toxic and hazardous wastes, the requirements for regional 
laboratory support experienced significant changes. The nature of the samples was becoming more 
hazardous, thereby requiring specialized handling and newer and more sophisticated analytical 
instrumentation. Due to the age and design of the existing facility, and the need to provide a safe working 
environment for employees, EPA started planning for a new lab in 1988.

The major EPA field component in this region is the Robert S. Kerr Environmental Research Center in Ada, 
Oklahoma. Its primary mission is to conduct EPA-investigator led laboratory and field research, providing the 
scientific basis to support the development of strategies and technologies for protecting and restoring ground 
and surface water quality from a watershed management perspective. The original laboratory, owned by EPA 
and operated by ORD, was constructed in 1965 on a sixteen acre site in Ada. Additions, including a shop 
annex and Library Conference Center, were later constructed bringing the total space at the main campus to 
78,639 square feet. 

Included in the total area are three smaller buildings for chemical storage, grounds maintenance, and 
hazardous material storage. A new 2,400 square foot equipment storage and maintenance building was 
completed in 2004. 


The Ada facility also includes a small (2,120 square feet) ancillary building located nine 
miles west of the main laboratory. 

The Ground Water and Ecosystems Restoration Division (GWERD) laboratory conducts 
research and provides technical assistance to support the development of strategies and 
technologies to protect and restore ground water, surface water, and ecosystems impacted by man-made and 
natural events. The Division's research programs include basic studies to enhance understanding of the 
physical, chemical, and biological processes that control the transport of mass and energy in surface and 
subsurface ecosystems through the movement of water; laboratory and field studies to develop and evaluate 
the means to protect and restore ground and surface water; studies to evaluate the benefits of efforts to 
restore and manage ecosystems,- and studies of the impacts of confined animal feeding operations on water 
quality. The Division has an active technical assistance program to provide support and transfer research results

Office 


In June 1999, Region Seven moved into the new 203,475 rentable square foot Kansas City Regional Office. This 
award winning building features a dramatic four-story light filled atrium with spectacular views of the Kansas 
City, Missouri skyline. The building is a result of a successful partnership between the City of Kansas City, 
Kansas, who donated the site for the building, US General Services Administration, who served as a willing 
partner in delivering a quality and environmentally sensitive building, and EPA. 

The five-story building has an extensive number of sustainable design features. Among those are numerous 
passive solar design features, including extensive day lighting, sun screens that reflect light into the building 
and provide shade from the intense summer sun, and smaller windows on the west side that minimize heat 
gain on hot summer afternoons. Materials used in the building are environmentally friendly. Coal fly ash 
makes up a significant portion of the large concrete auger pile foundation system. Building insulation, 
structural steel and glazing are made with up to sixty percent recycled materials. Tenant finish materials 
include vinyl composition tile, acoustical ceiling tiles, carpet and ceramic tiles with above average recycled 
content. High efficiency indirect lighting and motion sensors improve the energy efficiency of the building. 




Windows & roof provide 
abundant natural light 


This building won a GSA "Build Green" award in 1999 and an EPA Gold Medal for Sustainable Development in 
2000. The unique design of the building, with its U-shaped floors and tree filled center 
court, provides a beautiful, functional, and exciting new office space for EPA Region 
Seven.

The twenty year lease for this build-to-suit facility was awarded as a design-build contract in August 2000 and 
the Kansas City Science & Technology Center officially opened on May 9, 2003. This 72,000 square foot lab is 
the result of another successful partnership of the City of Kansas City, Kansas, who donated the site, the US 
General Services Administration, the EPA Facilities Management and Services Division, and EPA Region Seven 


On August 4, 2003, the Kansas City Science and Technology Center received LEED™ (Leadership in Energy and 
Environmental Design) 2.0 Gold certification for including attributes such as daylighting, low-flow plumbing 
fixtures, and wood products from certified sustainable sources in the building design. LEED™ is a green 
building rating system developed by the US Green Building Council. 


Extensive energy modeling was performed on the design drawings and recommendations for economical 
energy conservation measures and design changes were made, including zoned carbon dioxide sensors, 
plate-frame heat exchange recovery, and a variable-frequency-drive chiller. 




A unique rooftop rainwater recovery system captures and filters rainwater for use in flushing toilets; it cuts 
treated domestic water use by approximately fifty percent and reduces site runoff by forty percent. Since the 
rainwater recovery system collects more water than needed for the toilets, the excess is used to provide 
make-up water for the building's cooling towers. The estimated savings from this unique system is 735,000 
gallons per year per LEED™ documentation. 

The Solicitation for Offers (SFO) for this facility included green language to ensure that the facility and all its 
construction features promote energy efficiency and environmentally preferable materials and design. The 
SFO encouraged contractors to address energy and water conservation and other environmental factors.

1980s. The building has achieved the Energy Star Label, and with active cooperation from the lessor, EPA was 
able to implement its Green Lights program. Region Eight is the largest tenant, and therefore the lead agency 
in the building. 

Region Eight occupies parts of eight floors in this building - a total of approximately 209,000 rentable square 
feet, housing about 900 employees. Open space planning with systems furniture has been utilized 
throughout the space. There is a large Conference and Training Center as well as a Health Improvement 
Center, Regional Response Center, Library and Public Information Center. The Criminal Investigations Division 
(CID) of the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA) occupies approximately 2,647 square 
feet at Denver Place as well. 

GSA has begun the process of procuring new office space to be occupied upon the expiration of the lease at 
Denver Place. GSA has awarded the development contract to the OPUS Team which consists of OPUS 
Northwest, LLC, Developer and Owner,- Zimmer-Gunsul-Frasca Architects and Planners; Syska Hennessy 
Mechanical/Electrical Engineers and Hinman Consulting as Security Consultants. This Team has extensive 
experience with building design, construction, operation and management. 



Region Eight's new state-of-the-art facility will be located at the corner of 16th and Wynkoop Streets and 
contain 250,000 gross square feet of area on nine floors. The building will be LEED 1U certified, 

Energy Star compliant, incorporate improved Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) standards, meet 
Department of Homeland Security criteria, and be a model of sustainability for future 
projects in Denver. EPA anticipates occupying this facility in 2006.

Practical Exercise Training Facility (OECA) 


The National Enforcement Investigations Center of EPA shares space in a facility located at the Denver Federal 
Center (DFC) in Lakewood, Colorado, eight miles west of downtown Denver. The DFC is a 670 acre federal 
reservation consisting of one and two-story masonry and timber buildings that were constructed as an 
ammunition production plant to support the World War II effort. The factory, originally known as the Denver 
Ordnance Plant, was originally a 2,000 acre site, housing more than 20,000 employees in over 200 buildings. 
Many of the buildings that were retained as part of the DFC have been renovated and expanded and one high 
rise building has been constructed. The DFC facility supports approximately 7,000 employees from more than 
twenty-five federal departments and agencies. 


The Center houses two divisions of OECA's Office of Criminal Enforcement, Forensics and Training (OCEFT). 
The two divisions. National Enforcement Investigations Center (NEIC) and Legal Counsel and Resource 
Management Division (LCRMD), occupy portions of five buildings on the DFC with approximately 141,000 
rentable square feet and a staff of 120. The Office of Compliance also maintains a five-person office. Housed 
off the Federal Center, in Lakewood, is a third division of OCEFT, the National Enforcement Training Institute 
(NETI) and the Office of Regulatory Enforcement (ORE), Mobile Source Enforcement Branch of the Air 
Enforcement Division. 


EPA has released Buildings 45, 46, 53, and 55 and has acquired space in Building 25 (125,514 rsf) for labs & 
offices for NEIC and LCRMD. Building 11 houses hazardous chemicals and waste and Building 94 is warehouse 
space. All three buildings are co-occupied with other federal agencies. 



Building 47 is utilized by EPA under a special use permit from GSA and is the site of the 
Practical Exercise Training Facility, operated by OCEFT. The facility, occupied during 
training activities only, is an abandoned steam plant constructed in 1941 and operational 
through 1992. The building provides a unique practical training facility which simulates an 
industrial site with hazardous material and operations used for environmental investigative and enforcement 
training, environmental emergency response and homeland defense training. The entire facility is 31,895 gross 
square feet, a four story steel and concrete building. Training activities are conducted only in the basement 
and first floor levels of the boiler house, and the exterior of the building. The portion of the building used for 
training activities covers approximately 17,000 square feet. The boiler house basement, which is 4,550 square 
feet, contains the bottom levels of the two coal-fired boilers, the coal conveyor room, the base of the coal 
bucket elevator, and an ash conveyor pipeline. The first floor of the boiler house, which is 12,625 square feet, 
contains the main portion of the two coal-fired boilers, offices, lunch room, battery room, several ventilation 
fan enclosures and a heating oil-fired boiler.

Regional offices for Region Ten are located in the high-rise Park Place Building in downtoyvn Seattle. The 
building is approximately thirty years old, and is considered to be in good condition. The structure is reinforced 
concrete clearly delineated in the exterior facade which is exposed concrete and glass. A child care center and 
a fitness center are shared with three other federal agencies in this government-leased facility. 

Region Ten saw a planned remodeling of its executive offices as a unique opportunity to provide leadership to 
the federal community and the private design and building community by creating a showcase for "green 
construction" using environmentally responsible practices and materials. 

The executive suite, as originally designed, featured over-sized offices, a dark paneled interior space that 
housed the administrative staff, old furniture and had no cohesive functional system of storage. A new design 
for the suite reduced it to 1,930 square feet and the executive offices to 225 square feet each, and includes a 
well-used conference room, more informal meeting space and daylight and outside views for the 
administrative staff. 

With this project EPA demonstrated several innovative practices that reflect the Agency's increasing focus on 
sustainability: 

0 using certified wood products; 

0 selecting resource efficient materials; 

♦ minimizing construction and demolition waste; and 
0 designing sustainable space.

The Coastal Ecology Branch (CEB) is the marine research group for the Western Ecology Division, a part of the 
National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laboratory. CEB is housed in a state-of-the-art laboratory 
building on the grounds of the Hatfield Marine Science Center of Oregon State University in Newport, 

Oregon. An ideal physical setting for research on marine and estuarine ecosystems, the facility is located on 
the shore of Yaquina Bay and consists of a main laboratory and office building, a support and storage 
building, a hazardous waste building and a seawater holding tank. 

Wet laboratories equipped with flow-through seawater systems are available for a wide variety of experiments. 
Unique, specialized treatment facilities onsite allow experiments to be safely conducted on important regional 
and national environmental issues, including tests involving exotic species and acute and chronic exposures of 
marine organisms to pollutants. Highly sophisticated analytical laboratory facilities provide capabilities for low- 
level analysis of organic pollutants, metals, and natural products from field and laboratory samples. 

Adjacent facilities on the Hatfield Marine Science Center campus include research laboratories operated by 
Oregon State University, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
Administration, National Marine Fisheries Service, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service. This concentration of 
marine research organizations provides an unparalleled opportunity for collaborative research on national 
environmental problems, and EPA scientists interact with their colleagues to further scientific achievement in a 
variety of ways. The CEB is the only EPA laboratory whose primary role is conducting marine research on the 
west coast of the United States. It is the only EPA ORD research facility that deals specifically with marine 
environmental research issues of the Pacific coast from California to Alaska, as well as for Hawaii and the 
Pacific island trust territories. 

In the past, CEB research has made outstanding contributions to dealing with the problem of chemically 
contaminated sediments in US coastal waters. Current research at CEB has its central focus on the effects of 
multiple stressors associated with human population growth on the habitats and species of the estuarine 
systems of the Pacific Northwest. CEB research scientists are also contributing to regional scale studies of the 
condition of nearshore ecosystems of the Southern California Bight. 

The Coastal Ecology Branch employs sixteen EPA scientists and support staff and additional contract 
personnel who provide facilities maintenance, technical and data processing support. The total laboratory 
budget represents approximately a two million dollar annual contribution to the local economy.
